Clinton has opened up a 7-point lead over Trump in the RealClearPolitics average, 46 to 39 percent.
In the Fox News poll, Clinton has a 17-point lead over Trump among women, who make up an outsized share of the electorate. Trump leads by 7 points among men.
Clinton is also running away with the contest among non-white voters, leading by 51 points, and voters under the age of 30, leading by 19 points.
Trump, meanwhile, has double-digit leads among white voters, people without a college degree, veterans and those who attend church.
The GOP nominee is being held back by tepid support from within his own party. Only 80 percent of Republicans say they support Trump, compared to 87 percent of Democrats who support Clinton.
Trump leads by 7 points among independents. Exit polls show Mitt Romney carried independents by 5 points over President Obama in 2012.
